Crispy meets creamy. This recipe explores two sides of our favourite Autumn ingredient. We use part of the butternut squash for a creamy curry and the other part for crunchy croquettes! A wonderful play of textures and flavours which you have to try.

Ingredients for
1
Bottom (the larger part) of a butternut squash, diced
1
Onion, coarsely diced
300 ml
Water
1 Tsp.
Curry paste
2 tbsp.
Fish sauce
1 Tsp.
Grated ginger
1 Pinch
Salt
1
Top half of a butternut squash, cut into 4 or 5 circa 1 cm slices
1 tbsp.
Flour
1 Tsp.
Salt
1 Tsp.
Paprika powder
0.5 handful
Coriander, for topping
4 tbsp.
Breadcrumbs
1 Tsp.
Black sesame

Step 1/7

Sweat the diced coconut and diced onions in some coconut oil. Add the curry paste and lightly fry.

Step 2/7

Add the ginger and deglaze with water and coconut milk. Simmer for around 20 minutes.

Step 3/7

Cut the other half of the pumpkin into slices 1 cm thick and roll them first in the flour mixture, then in the plant-based drink and finally in the breadcrumbs. Alternatively, the flour mixture can be mixed with the plant-based milk and the slices can then be dipped in this mixture and rolled in the panko. This method results in a slightly thicker coating.

Step 4/7

Fry the pumpkin halves in a pan with enough oil for 10–15 minutes until golden brown. Turn every few minutes.

Step 5/7

Prepare the jasmine rice.

Step 6/7

Finely purée the vegetables in the curry with a hand blender and finally season to taste with fish sauce (or vegan alternative), agave syrup and a little salt if necessary.

Step 7/7

Serve the jasmine rice with the curry and breaded pumpkin and top with coriander and (optional) black sesame seeds.
